CHAMPAIGN, ILL 



Growers of Fruit and Ornamental Trees 
and Small Fruits. 



MaR6 a SDGGlalii! ot reacti, rear and GHerru 



Stock grown upon the open prairies of Illinois insuring 
adaptation to the most exposed situations of 
transplanting. 

Our experience of more than thirty years in experimen- 
tal horticulture has taught us that nursery stock 
should be grown in such manner as to secure 
root development rather than over-grown stock. 
We therefore offer only trees that are WELL 
PROPORTIONED. 

Shipping facilities: Illinois Central, Big Four, and 
Wabash railways. Only four hours to Chicago 
with its numerous connecting lines.

THE STATE flORlGULTURflL PAPER OF MICHIGAN. 



We are pleased with the fact that Michigan now has an agri- 
cultural paper that is a worthy representative of the intelligent and 
important agricultural community of our State. The old MICHI- 
GAN FARMER, under its present management, is making rapid 
strides toward the top in the galaxy of agricultural literature of 
America. It is most beautifully printed on high grade paper, and 
employs the most emminent writers on the science and practice of 
Agriculture, Horticulture, Live Stock, Dairying, Apiary, and 
Poultry. Has a standard veterinarj^ department for free treatment 
of all diseases of farm animals; a legal and a medical department; 
contains all the agricultural news of the country, and an invaluable 
literary and household department every week. Admits no swind- 
ling nor immoral advertisements, and is in fact in every way a 
great, sound, practical, agricultural, live stock and family journal 
that the agriculturalists of Michigan may justly feel proud of and 
subscribe for with satisfaction and profit. Send your address on 
postal to MICHIGAN FARMER, Detroit. Mich., and free speci- 
men copy will con e to you by next mail. •
